Open Stack

Harshad,

I tried to find some discussion around this blueprint.
Could you provide us with some notes or threads  ?

Also, about the code review you mention. which one are you talking about :
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40071/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/49470/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/53171

because they are all abandoned.

Could you point me to the code, and update the BP because it seems that the links are not correct.

Thanks,

JC
